The Mom, who has asked to remain anonymous at this time, said that her children were outside in Jefferson Davis County for just 10 minutes when the tree limb snapped in the yard.

The Mother said that the limb just missed her 5-year-old, but hit her 8-year-old in the head, knocking him unconscious.

The young boy was reportedly transported to a hospital in Jackson where he is on a breathing tube.

The mother said that her son suffered a fractured skull and bleeding in the brain.

“It’s been a nightmare,” the mother told WDAM through a Facebook message.  “What should have been a fun day.”

The mother said that the tree limb fell less than five feet from the front door.

As the temperatures fall overnight, snow on trees is expected to turn to ice, which will be heavier on tree limbs. so please be cautious around your home or in your neighborhood.
